The Nia White Belt Training is the first level of a five-belt training series that presents a body-centered approach to health, wellness and fitness. If you have a desire to share Nia in a professional capacity, the White Belt Training is your entryway into teaching. Those who choose to pursue the path of personal enrichment use this training as a starting point for becoming a master student.

Over the course of one week, you will comprehensively explore physical sensation through five core-competency areas of study including movement, music, anatomy, science and philosophy. This joyful journey into the self is instrumental in helping you develop body knowing by learning to listen, interpret and consciously respond to the information your body communicates to you via sensation. Enroll in an upcoming training today, and positively shape the way you feel, look, think and live.

Upon graduation, you are eligible to become a livelihood member. As a livelihood member, you obtain a teaching license (whether you decide to use it or not) and have exclusive access to an in-depth continuing education program, an online forum, and special benefits and privileges. You may enroll in the Green Belt Training - which is dedicated to the craft of teaching - at any time after completing your White Belt Training. You may also enroll in the next level of training, Blue Belt Training.

Meet the Trainer

I began my Nia adventure in June of 1997. It was a good fit with my weight management business. Eventually I sold the business and focused on growing the Nia and the Nia community of Wisconsin. It has been such a gift to meet so many people that believe in the power of manifestation, Joyful living, and the importance of community. I have taught in many venues, with numerous populations, and generally teach 8-12 classes a week. I continue to grow personally and pr

I began my Nia adventure in June of 1997. It was a good fit with my weight management business. Eventually I sold the business and focused on growing the Nia and the Nia community of Wisconsin. It has been such a gift to meet so many people that believe in the power of manifestation, Joyful living, and the importance of community. I have taught in many venues, with numerous populations, and generally teach 8-12 classes a week. I continue to grow personally and professionally. In 2010, I became a Nia faculty member. In addition to teaching classes, I conduct 4-6 white belt trainings a year. It is my delight to share the first layer of Nia education with people. There is so much JOY that happens. Nia expands my capacity to sense Joy in all moments in my life. To me, Nia is Mindful Movement with cardio benefits. Be present, be comfortable, and stretch your boundries in a safe space. Through movement we find health......mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Join me!
